Kael scoffed loudly, the sound sharp and mocking, making my chest tighten. He started walking closer, his boots echoing against the floor like they carried all the authority in the world. My breath caught, and my fingers dug deeper into Damon's sheets.

My whole body felt so heavy, like I was tied down with stones. My head spun faintly, and the weakness in my bones made it impossible to even think about standing.
"I…" My voice cracked, barely louder than a whisper. "I can't. I'm a bit weak. My body… it hurts. I can't stand right now."
